I Am Polite, Quick and Reliable – 48 Hours

I am pleased to hear from you and I will reply – if I am awake – in less than a few hours. Of course, there are exceptions, but within 48 hours it’s a matter of politeness for me, to get back to
you. With answers to your questions or with a thank you for your cooperation offer.

However, your first message to me might have gone to our trash section or to our spam section. Knowing this situation we check these sections every second day.
That is not the problem.

However, there is a way bigger problem: My first mail back to you. We know for sure, that 25 percent of our first emails go to your spam file,
as your system might not know my sender-address as a welcome source. If you don’t receive my answer within 24 hours, please use one of three different options to
contact me a second time. That is first via mail: renate-bach (at) web.de; please replace the (at) by the at-sign. Or write me a paper letter or postcard: Mr. Peter Bach, Jr. –
Bildstrasse 25 – 74223 Flein – Germany. Or give me a call but check the time in
Germany right now here. Please call me 7 days/week between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m: +49 – 7131 – 576761.

I appreciate every feedback, thanks so very much.

Peter

Actually, we are both happy with your feedback. Please meet my wife Renate.

It Is a No Budget Project

The whole Johann Sebastian Bach project in German and in English plus many more languages is a huge time consuming and expensive project. It is very important for me to let you know, that there is
no budget – not one Dollar nor one Euro – for your help. Your support would be 100 % free. I need your feedback that you are aware of that crucial background, as I don't want to "honor"
your help with a disappointment when all is accomplished. Thanks for your understanding.

Please Start from Scratch

I worked on the international section for almost 4 years and created several versions in each language. Please do not proofread the current existing text on the page with your mother language. We
would get to a poor result, not only because basis would be a translation software based text, but as well, the content changed several times.

It is important, that I – please – need a 100 % translation from scratch from the current up-to-date Source Page 1 +
Sorce Page 2.

I Would Need a WORD File

To process your accomplished translated text, I would need your text as a WORD file, so I can just copy and paste the paragraphs without adding spelling mistakes.

Together?

We need the help of volunteers. Please become a member of our International Johann Sebastian Bach Dreamteam. If you like, we add a good photo and a short story about your life and
plans for your future at the bottom of page one. Check out how that would look like with a click here. Then scroll down to the end of the page.

Your Personal Language Is Missing?

If you would be able and like to translate both source pages in an additional – not yet presented and
listed – language beyond my 35, I would add your language on my website. That would be really cool.
I would love it. Currently, no language section is accomplished to perfection. I still need the picture texts of Chinese, Russian and Ukrainian.

My Poor Translation

Yes, "my" grammar and spelling in the 35 languages, except Chinese, Ukrainian, and Russian is actually poor, poor, poor. How come? Well, that is what I need your help for. I started with
sentences in easy grammar and let a translation software do its job. Later Google Translator developed a way better translating software. However, here is where you come into play.
Please.

Caution: Possible Confusion!

It's important for you to know, that the current version in your mother language is not the source text for the final projected page in your mother language. It's all done by
excellent translation software, compared what was on the market back then. However, it's far from perfection. Plus, the content has change invisible.

The Numbers in the Text Source

Please realize, as I am a professional editor and writer, I do know: your translation for me must be in your native/mother language. Excuse the unpolite word
"must". Having learned a language would not do.

Please do not start to translate until we "met" via mail. Because somebody could be almost ready with exactly the translation you offer. Right now.

Want to Check the Source Text Now?

Especially in languages, which I am not even able to read (... Chinese, Hindi, Korean, Arabic, Japanese, Hebrew and maybe more), the numbers(... in a light blue) in the source text are absolutely important for me to orientate myself. Please always transfer the numbers – in all languages – ti
where they fir in your translation. In every line, in every paragraph, in every headline, in every picture underline. Plus, please translate the paragraphs as a whole.

Please Send Me Questions Upfront

I would much appreciate your approval, to send me questions regarding your “fist translation round” before you send me your final translation.

It seems that it is more work for you, but it’s not. The goal should be to get a question free and option free complete translation in the order of my numbers. Believe me, if you send me a
translation with many questions, uncertainties and two or even more options, the problems exactly start there and it will definitely get complicated. Send me the first mail like: “Peter, in
paragraph 34, line 5 you mention an epee. What is this?”

Let's Start With a Sample ... an Appetizer

To play it safe, after we "met electronically", please don't translate more than 5 numbers first. So we can be sure, you don't do the whole job, and I can not process the result. This would be a
pity. Just in case I forget to mention this later.

Your Photo, Vita, and Plans

We want to decorate all foreign-language pages in a common design: your portrait + a landmark in the capital of your country + the flag of the country of the language.

It's really easy: you surely have a smartphone. In your smartphone, there is a camera function. These photos come out in high resolution. Best case is you make a new photo: you just
need a friend, a family member or a colleague. Take the photos from your head down to your belt. Selfies do not work.

Position yourself in front of a wall. Distance some 3 to 6 feet. Hand your smartphone to your "photographer" (... your friend, buddy, wife, brother, sister). Ask him or her, to make 3 to 6 photos
of you. Always the same place, the same frame. And smile. Important: he or she should tell you one second ahead when she is taking the photo. That is the whole secret for nice portraits. In a
collection of 3 to 6 photos, we can be sure, there is one with your perfect smile.

Why in front of a wall? Because we "cut the photo of you out". And we place it in front of one of the landmarks of your country (... in France the Eiffel Tour, in Great Britain Big Ben, in India
the Taj Mahal, in Moscow the Kremlin and so on ...). Then we add the flag of your home country. Ready. Look here for samples. When you arrived, scroll down completely.

Please Leave the Underlined and Bold Words in Place for Me

Red and bold words are the foundation for later hyperlinks. And hyperlinks, that transfer to a next website on the internet are the
so-called "gold" to be found on the web. I wouldn't be able to find the matching word(s) in your translation if you don't transfer the red and bold
fractions in your translation. As I can not read the letters like in Korean, Hebrew, Arabic, and Hindi. And even in languages which are easier to read for me – like Italian or
French – it's crucial

Please Do Not Get Creative

My cordial request to you: Please do not change a single word for style reasons. Every noun is very, very important. The sentence "Bach is born in Eisenach, Bach moved in with his
brother later and already after seven years Bach hiked to Lueneburg" contains the word "Bach" 3 times. This sentence doesn't sound elegant. 3 times the word "Bach" seems to be too much. But the word
"Bach" is so very important. It's important to be found on
Google.

The translation "Bach is born in Eisenach, he moved in with his brother and already after seven years the musician hiked to Lueneburg" would be much more elegant, but it would be a
catastrophe as you would have erased the most important word – which is Bach – on my website.

Plus do not combine 2 sentences into 1 sentence. So please translate as close as you can manage.

Questions?

I would be pleased to answer your questions. SEO (search engine optimization) is complicating. And coming with your help, not just the translation is important for me. If you want
to know something far more behind what I explained here in a few words, just let me know. Don't hesitate to ask: I love writing and the more you know about the background the better our future mutual
page on "Bach über Bach" and on "Bach On Bach" will be.

Thank you so much!

Yours Peter Bach, Jr.
